Diabetology

Diabetes is often considered as a silent killer. It is the fifth deadliest disease in the world and the leading cause of adult blindness, kidney failure, and amputations, as well as the leading contributor to heart attacks and strokes.

Glucose range, even half the time, can result in both immediate and long-term benefits.

Proper self-management and control of blood sugar levels can significantly delay or prevent complications, helps develop coping skills for living with diabetes and improves the quality of life for persons with diabetes.

Diabetes symptoms vary depending on how much your blood sugar is elevated. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, may not experience symptoms initially. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe.

Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are:

Increased thirst

Frequent urination

Extreme hunger

Unexplained weight loss

Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a by product of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough available insulin)

Fatigue

Irritability

Blurred vision

Slow-healing sores

Frequent infections, such as gums or skin infections and vaginal infections
Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, though it often appears during childhood or adolescence. Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, can develop at any age, though it's more common in people older than 40.
